I wonder why Bocker makes the frontpage so often. Is Docker still that controversial even in 2024? Why people don't recognize that it actually brought something useful (mainly, software distribution and easy of "run everywhere") to the table?

I'm bringing overlayfs to people at my company to save time on a lenghty CI process, and they are in awe at the speedup. But after demo-ing it to a few people I realized they could just use / (I could have brought them) docker.

How overlayfs speeds up CI processes?

Huge (32gb) git repo full of junk and small files. No power to change it. Created a cron job that updates and rebuilds every 24hrs. Clients can clone it instantly with overlay instead of a 30m checkout and build each time. Not to mention disk space savings
